UODO imposes PLN 29,112 fine for failure to implement a decision
The authority reported the case on 5 October. Payment of the fine does not replace compliance with the earlier decision.
On 5 October 2026, UODO reported a PLN 29,112 fine for failure to implement a decision concerning an information obligation owed to a complainant.
What the authority announced
According to the authority, the controller did not demonstrate compliance or answer subsequent correspondence. UODO concluded that the obligation had not been fulfilled.
The obligation remains
The notice stresses that collecting the fine does not remove the underlying obligation. This describes the authority’s position in an individual case, not a standard fine for every similar situation.
An operational lesson for businesses
For businesses, the practical lesson concerns correspondence handling: assign responsibility, track deadlines and retain evidence of responses. Refer documents requiring legal assessment to the appropriate specialist rather than leaving them unanswered.
